Overview
A prophet and the son of a prophet. In al-Bukhari the Prophet said: "The generous son of the generous son of the generous son of the generous: Yusuf ibn Ya'qub ibn Ishaq ibn Ibrahim" 1. So he is the son of Ya'qub.
In al-Bukhari the Prophet also said: "Had I remained in prison as long as Yusuf remained, and then the summoner came to me, I would have answered him" 2. And among his supplications against Mudar: "Make them years like the years of Yusuf" 3.
